- Welcome to Daley Life Celebration Studio, where we Celebrate the Color of Life.
Michael J Pantaleone
Mike was a gentle giant and a friend to everyone. His greatest joy was making people laugh. His hands were enormous, and he used them to good ends; Mike could turn a wrench with the best of them, especially when he owned his prized 1972 Corvette. His home was full of pictures of it, but, of course, he had a fascination with all Vettes. He was a great student (Kingsway class of 1971) and segued immediately into the workforce, getting a job at Mobile and eventually Valero as a chemical engineer. If his T.V. was on he’d be checking out shows from the 50’s 60’s and 70’s. Of course, the same can be said of his taste in music; Mike had a soft spot for Doo Wop. He loved the Phillies and proudly defended the Bears while living in a sea of green. He resided in Pennsville but previously lived in Logan Township.
He is survived by his son, Christopher; and sisters, Patricia Monahon of Logan Twp, Barbara Conrad of Ennaus Pa, and Margaret Pantaleone of Nichlasville Ky. He was predeceased by his sister, Donna Pantaleone.
Come celebrate 72 great years Friday March 21, 10 a.m. to noon at Daley Life Celebration Studio, 1518 Kings Highway where there will be a noon service. Interment Eglington Cemetery, Clarksboro.

Well said, and my Uncle Mike was indeed a gentle giant who was always there for family and willing to lend a hand to those in need. His sudden passing was beyond tragic, but his memory shall live on in the hearts of those who knew him well. You will be greatly missed Uncle Mike, rest in peace.
Michael, you left us way too soon my friend.
Your generosity and concern for others is sorely missed as such a kind and gentle person is rare stock.
Your work ethic, detail, pride and professionalism have benefited myself directly as well all you came in contact with at work.
I thank God for knowing you.

I first met Michael back in 1980 right around the time we started working at the old power house in the Mobil Refinery. Our friendship continued for many years, up until we both retired from the same refinery many years later. Michael made work enjoyable with his sense of humor, always keeping things lite, even through challenging times. After retirement, we continued to stay in touch and I could usually count on a monthly phone call from him. I’m going to miss those phone calls! Rest in peace, Michael!
My sincere condolences to the Pantaleone Family. Mike and my husband Ed were good friends. Although they did not see each other a lot over the years they stayed in touch. RIP Mike ❤️
